Hi guys I'm Daniel how are ya?

Sorry I'm new here and just bought a lemon and wondering if you could HELP PLEASE?.

my s2 c34 Stagea has been to the mechanics 3 times and they can't sort it

I had a misfire fault a while ago turned out to be coil pack, so replaced all 6 and spark plugs too.

I've had the battery seem to go flat for no reason too, multiple times I've had to charge it to be able to start it, not sure if it needs replacing or if there is something causing it to go flat???

Now I have this fault 21 which is "ignition failure" and after looking at it they noticed the clips from the coil harness a few had broken so the connectors could be coming loose and causing misfire, so I had to replace the coil pack harness.

Now past few days the car has done 3 things

1)

Turn on and no warning lights and runs fine for a bit, then runs like its on 4-5 cylinders,

2)

Then kept running like shit with the check engine light on all arvo.

3)

Stopped to get fuel, left accessories turned on by accident then went to start and it was like the battery was flat so I got a jump start and now everything seems ok

Now back to misfiring badly.

I replaced the battery yesterday too as my mate tested it and said it failed the test but still same issues.

ANY HELP AT ALL WOULD BE AWESOME.

Cheers

Daniel

With the car off, check the current draw by putting a multimeter in series with the battery (dont turn the car on!). Put it in amps range.

Get a baseline reading then start pulling out fuses one by one to see if a particular circuit is causing the current drain.

Otherwise the battery may not be getting charged by the alternator, but theres not much point guessing without taking measurements.

and don't worry, it's likely just 1 or 2 problems that haven't been found, not an overall lemon. these are well engineered and built cars, so once you get someone who knows them to sort it, it will probably be great :)

Ignition pack? So the part before the coil pack itself? Could cause the misfire. Your either not charging as you should or something is left on when it shouldnt be... could always install a battery cut off switch if you cant find the issue.

      Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....

      Saw this abandoned Honda Fit in a carpark that was getting repaved... they just 'cut around it' and continued with the job! There's a number of reasons why the car could have been abandoned, but as for the construction company, legally they don't have permission to move the car from the owner (who has moved on and can't be contacted) so all they can do it just leave it there with enough space around it so it won't get damaged.

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
